Customs OK guys lets try to find the Exodus Cushenbery built 59 Chevy last known to be in Fresno Calif

are you building a collection of cars from outer space?

 

You’re right @Moriarity , the car needs to be found, restored and once again presented to the world. We need to get our best HAMB detectives on the case, paging @ Sancho, and to the front desk.

 

@The_Cat_Of_Ages I think Mark just wants to save the coolest customs that he can find. Watching this one.

 

That thing's rad!

 

Very kool! Would love to see it found and part of the Moriarity collection!

 

Wow, 22 minutes have gone by and it's still not found. C'mon HAMB'rs, you're just not tryin'!

 

I have always wondered where it is now. I would like to see The Exodus restored or recovered.

 

Probably the best restyled '59 Chevy ever.... I've never been a fan of them, but this one is stunning.

 

I’d drive it

 

Oooh! That thing pushes all the right buttons and excites all the right taste buds.

If it's not found, it sure would be great for someone to build a dedicated replica. That thing is sweet!

 

But if you do find it/buy it you're either going need a bigger house or something will have to go.

 

Nah, he'll probably knock out a wall and put a car in a spare bedroom... LOLOL

 

I think that its smooth and sleek.... and cool. I hope that it's found, and you can get it. I would even help in the restoration. I would assume that the chassis is basically stock.

I sense that you are now on a quest!

 

Found this on the internet, no info with it however. Appears to still be in decent condition if the photo is recent.
No info on where it is now.
I always thought it was one of Cushenbery's best.

Mark....I think you need the A Bros Victorian in your life....get some FOMOCO in that garage

 

Who would let that car deteriorate like that?It had such cool styling touches and a great paint job!

 

The last rumour I can find, reported on the Kustorama facebook page in 2017 (which seems to be the source of all the rumours of it even existing anymore) is that is was cut up and buried.

 

would be a shame if that is what happened to it, why on earth would anyone steal a car like that? especially one that is so identifiable.

 

One big problem with cars from that era is the paints used. Durability seemed to be in inverse proportion to how cool it was... The candies and metalflakes just didn't last well in 'regular' use. The handful that have survived were show/garage queens, not driven or exposed to the sun much if at all. That's still true to a certain extent.

 

I am sure they named it and had a picture of it so they were definitely talking about the Exodus but who knows the same rumour could float around for any number of cars.

 

It would seem fitting that you end up with it. No gut wrenching feeling that it would come to its demise being in your hands Huge props to the work put into it originally. ​

 

Is there anything more as far as evidence than the rumour written on Kustomrama that the car was actually in Fresno?

 

Couldn't you double deck someplace? I think the boat is under something.

 

The blue photo posted by @lurker mick above, can anyone get enough resolution to see the license plate state and year?
